The Garaventa Evacu-Trac is a light-weight, compact and easy-to-use evacuation chair. The open sides of the Evacu-Trac are designed for people with limited mobility to transfer from their wheelchair to this evacuation chair without assistance. Once positioned in the Evacu-Trac, velcro straps are wrapped securely around the passenger's torso and lower legs. The passenger is then wheeled to the stairway for descent.
